In-game achievable sword and polearm 3D renders.[1]
Power creep is a balance issue... When it comes to gear progression specifically, the idea is to create an open market that is not heavily dependent on soulbound items; and having many item sinks and gold sinks within that economy that allows for the potential degradation and loss of assets within that closed economy; and not introduce items from the market that companies put in from a pay-to-win perspective or from a pay-to-convenience perspective that undermines the economy that players have built. That is a huge mistake that companies have made in the past and that lends to the imbalancing of what designers maybe have actually balanced well.[2] – Steven Sharif
Weapons have their own progression paths.[3][4]
- Each type of weapon has its own skill tree that grants passive skills and proc effects and other status conditions.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][3][13][14]
- The weapon combo system determines special effects that proc based on weapon progression.[3][14]
- Ancillary effects proc based on enchantment types.[14]
- Gear enhancements (power stones) can be applied to add elemental or energy types of damage.[14]
- Dual wielded weapons will have its own progression based on weapon type.[15]
- Weapon proficiency (based on length of use of a weapon) is not a planned feature.[13]
- Ashes of Creation is all about providing many progression paths... The reason why we don't like the term endgame is because with the amount of progression that's available with the amount of diversity and player agency that impacts the world... We want the weapon system [to] add an element of that as well... You can determine special effects that proc from currently the combo system; you can determine ancillary effects that proc based on enchantment types; you can power stone weapons to add different either elemental types of damage and/or energy that play rock-paper-scissor with player defenses ... and then you can skill tree out how those effects that are granted ... you can make them better you can branch them off into a different direction.[14] – Steven Sharif
